The ex-HMAS Canberra is Victoria's newest tourist attraction

The ex-HMAS Canberra is Victoria's newest tourist attraction, having been scuttled on 4th October 2009. An online booking system for moorings at the site is now open at http://www.parkstay.vic.gov.au/ . Parks Victoria requires divers to be qualified and reminds all divers they are responsible for ensuring conditions are safe for diving. Divers can book a dive tour with a licensed tour operator or book a 2-hour mooring through Parks Victoria in order to access the site. A mooring will cost $30 per boat regardless of the number of divers on board - the money raised will contribute some of the costs of managing the site. For more information visit the ex-HMAS Canberra page at http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=294
